Diabetes Sign #1: Weight Loss
Weight loss occurs when there is a total reduction of body mass due to loss of adipose tissue, muscle, fluid, bone mineral deposits, or other connective tissue. Weight loss can occur both intentionally and unintentionally. Unintentional weight loss usually occurs due to malnourishment or underlying disorder such as cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, gastritis, pancreatitis, diarrhea, infection, renal disease, diabetes, and more.
Weight loss can occur when there is impaired intake of food, impaired absorption or digestion, altered metabolic demands, or excessive nutrient loss.
